video for your media project. i'm very pleased to introduce my guest today john dispositive oh he's a professor of religion and international affairs and islamic studies at georgetown university he has served as a consultant to the u.s. state department and other agencies doctors posit overrode a number of books on islam dr thank you very much for making yourself available glad to be here i was looking at poll numbers saying different muslim countries their opinion over the u.s. now is either the same as under george w. bush or much worse as is the case in pakistan in egypt for example four years ago seventy five percent of egyptians had an unfavorable view of the u.s.

now it's seventy nine percent in pakistan used to be around seventy percent now it's around ninety percent these figures have nothing to do with the infamous anti islamic film where do they come from in your opinion well i think if you actually take a look at you know data from the muslim world i was société with the gallup organization and gallup did a world poll of and that included thirty five muslim countries from all over north africa to southeast asia and what we discovered was that majorities of muslims. while they had wire. america's economic and technological development its freedoms the rule of law among other things resent with they see as an intrusive foreign policy as a foreign policy when it comes to the promotion of democracy and human rights based on double standards now what happened was that when president obama. his speech in

cairo then his numbers really spiked up countries like egypt and others but what's happened throughout the obama administration is that you had rising expectations those expectations not filled and then the numbers start really going down one of the risks that you have when you are it seems to me a president or anyone is that if you raise the bar you'll be judged by that obama had the genius and the insight to present a vision that was significantly different and claimed to be significantly different from that of george w. bush on a variety of issues whether it was palestine in israel whether it was the use of military force etc but the reality of it is that in many ways of a fair number of the obama policies are are similar to the bush administration's i was listening to a conversation on fox lately and it was about whether the u.s. should stop meddling in the affairs of the region in the world was divorced from

the region and the anchor at the question that he was that he was asking but what if we divorce what if russia and china come in and then it will end up in building the ran so that that was like in a very conversational manner very short question and i thought that that phrase might have spelled out the complex that washington has when it comes to interventions after the vietnam war there was a sense that you could see it in our culture in our news everything was more local than global that americans were sick of war and didn't want to invest any more in terms of our human beings that number of people were killed in terms and wanted to emphasize domestic you know economy and development well and that's why i mean one of the influences when george bush was elected he wasn't interested and made it clear he was going to be dealing internationally it was ok to deal domestically that's what the american people want with global terrorism if you're global to. and

you then develop a policy which is very complex it's not just going to have to global terrorism but a complex of really going into a dangerous and intervention like and also you know occupation etc it's clear that the american people are sick of the carnage. in iraq and afghanistan i don't mean the american people i mean the conflicts in the heads of the policy may well the policy makers are concerned about being elected and reelected and they know that the american people many of them are saying we don't want more intervention simply because we don't want to see more americans dying because we have a real economic problems at home so why are we going to be you know. spending so much on going to you know going to war i want to get get. if you could help me to the bottom of this complex is it that is it is it the sense that if if we don't intervene someone else you know we're going to lose influence someone else was

going to cold war mentality i don't know potentially i don't i don't think so i think that there are people who exaggerate me for example desire to have more influence to forge better alliances which could be in benefit if you know they're in favor of the u.s. that's what i mean i think that you know the u.s. is path. it has to be to ford's better alliances with the peoples of the region it cannot simply be motivated by simply saying well there are alternative emerging powers here you know or reemerging powers depending on how you view things with regard to russia let's say as compared to china we can't we can't simply develop almost a new cold war mentality here and say well you know if we don't play it quite right there ready to sweep in and take everything off i think that what you're going to have and what we have is a competition over spheres of influence ok we see that already oh i think china

certainly china's china is very present in many parts of the world from sudan as the world we're talking about from sudan to pakistan you know developing its foreign diplomacy and its fears of influence i think clearly feel for russia. there's a concern about you know it's fears of influence in the region and for the u.s. they will that's what will keep us in the region i mean i don't see how how we could ever talk about divorcing cells from the region if a no other reason given the push in u.s. policy you still have two primary drivers in terms of national interest and that is oil and israel. you know given given american politics you see it's not a matter of an intellectual thing american politicians the majority of american politicians we've seen this time and time again are absolutely convinced that these are two negotiable priorities not only as a matter of principle but as

a matter of being reelected oil and israel meaning guess prices and a lot be. concerned if you look at american politics the concern of most politicians in congress ok the concern is not only out of commitment to the state of israel but also in terms of you know the ability to be reelected and you also see it in our campaign i look at how me and obama ok have been courting the jewish vote and concerned about it obama has to be concerned about losing what is a you know a long time tradition of american jews voting democratic obama what happens with obama in the last two years the administration has backed away from it's putting pressure on the netanyahu government remember after the cairo speech obama went toe to toe head to head with netanyahu on the settlements wouldn't back off and went back and forth back and forth but then you know look at

what happened the last time that he was here he speaks before congress and congress gives him what was a twenty seven or twenty nine standing ovations plus a lot of sitting ovations what's the message there the u.s. congress on a previous visit of netanyahu as netanyahu was coming in a confrontational situation with with the american president the u.s. congress the majority drafted. a letter to netanyahu expressing its support not only for the state of israel but for the netanyahu government so they know the politics when the convention came up the democratic convention what did they try to out all of a sudden the democrats were talking about movement of the embassy to jerusalem so they know that that is a reality and so all politic. regardless of parties have believed this for decades and will continue so for the foreseeable future that's not going to change much obama was the guy who gave the impression with his cairo speech and others that he was willing to begin to renegotiate america's policy on. you know on

israel and palestine but in fact when it came down to hard political realities has backed off do you think there's a crack between the white house and tell me over iran or is it just like good cop bad cop i can add a game that they're playing out it is complicated i mean the same place i think that i think that. netanyahu who's. from my point of view netanyahu who's arrogance which he's always had. has been enhanced as enormously by the kinds of things we were just discussing his ability to take obama on. his duty to come to the united states regularly and. and how many situations would you have a foreign representative in effect coming in and saying i don't care what the president thinks i'm going to go to the congress and try to get what i want and now he is pushing the u.s. to war that's right and netanyahu is acting as lecturing or this administration and

say the red lines are not drawn strongly enough when it comes to a military attack. what other leader could be dictating to the president united states who feel that he could do it. i believe that obama has been working it very carefully because of elections ok but that obama has alternately tried to communicate yet we're going to be strong on iran and we will be even stronger and stronger if iran doesn't. back away but but he's made very clear that he's not willing to talk about and put on the table significant threat of military intervention and that's what's bothering netanyahu netanyahu would like to be able to communicate to the world that. the israelis are ready which he has to attack and that it will be done with the full support of the united states and he's not getting that he'd like to believe we've had enough instances in the past

where israel could go in and raid a country we seen it from when it went into iraq when it went into lebanon etc and the u.s. would sit on its hands you know or into gaza and i think what he wants to do that i want to do is create a context for that you know where you keep laying the groundwork you keep painting iran as this evil empire that you're going after and you keep putting pressure on the united states because what you're doing is saying we're going to have to do this because israel faces extinction and you're hoping therefore to put pressure from within the country from both the hard line christian zionist right from from apac the jewish lobby and also from from our congress but i think the ultimate the ultimate potential goal is that there is a danger that you mean rhetoric is not helping you know do you really think that there is that a bigger threat to israel's existence coming from and i think i think that israel

is exaggerating the imminence of that threat there's no doubt about it and there is that yeah i mean there is a point that can be made but then as you said this a long time long time ago when he makes these threats he also when he came to the u.n. had a private meeting at the u.n. that a number of us attended and it's not that i believe anything said but he did say something that was pretty logical at the time which was look if we engaged in any kind of nuclear attack we would be inviting the decimation of our country because they would be a counter attack and just the other day in the american press it wasn't that was saying it but somebody else that was sort of saying well if the iranians were to do this obviously iran would be the one that would really suffer so when. when netanyahu acts as if it's israel that faces such a degree of a threat and extinction that it would justify a preemptive strike it's just hard to believe that he really thinks that the

rain ians would risk that because they know what would be a lose situation suicidal there is rightly thank you ok. wealthy british style stock. market. has come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with max concert for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into cars a report on our i mean so familiar city in europe the host of the twenty four team

a lot of praise before he's very managed who did. the portuguese certainly had a lot of possession but that is their style of play all their dominance with the ball they hardly manage to create any opportunities i think they had one chance right at the start of the game and that was it but then again we made it hard for them to create. pressure were ruled on my capacity crowd at luzhniki sadia man really gave the players a lot of support which we were very grateful to you all to watch the russians didn't manage to create too many chances with cells and how much the session didn't have many opportunities really to attack the portuguese goal but the one opportunity they did have in the six minute was taken perfectly by alexander scored three goals in the free qualifiers so far. i really relieved to have taken a chance that was presented to me but i don't think the portuguese had many opportunities themselves a lot of possession and they were dangerous from set pieces but that's all they managed to create. what is part of the portuguese control of most of the game and

grid dominated possession they didn't manage to create too many chances and apart from one incident in the first half we go i can say of really was a spectator for most of the game while the talk had been about cristiana an hour ago but the real madrid midfielder really did struggle to. the game is very well martial by russia's back line and money just said basically portugal couldn't reach him you know but you can tease him out with a dime for we did well on this speech normally we don't used to play on this kind of beach but i think all the players did well. it was a good performance of the game but. that's football one one chance they had they score but we still have. we still believe on teams have a chance to do we know games that's what's important. to note is one of the best players in the world and it's always difficult to play against him but i don't think he was at his best today. things are looking very good for from here to publicize this in total group after my one chapter three games average the grand

slam much conceded a goal they were very very good defensively this evening and that really does bode well for russia going into the rest of this world cup qualifying campaign in their bid to reach the world cup finals in brazil in two thousand and fourteen or so and sickly. dancey. elsewhere the world and european champions. for better. with a hat trick you had given the visit is that they did early on before pedre then start with nothing higher quality travel top i with france both on six points and i will face each other on tuesday i mean modestly remind i'm basically talking they are the three one win in armenia although they were made to fight for the three points rather than half the pillow had scored from the spot the hosts then drew angry because he and. if they found another game in the second half and grabbed the picture it's right for the rope or aussie pablo.
